Twitch and the Work of Play
Taylor, T. L.
American Journal of Play, v11 n1 p65-84 Fall 2018
In this excerpt from the author's new book, "Watch Me Play: Twitch and the Rise of Game Live Streaming," (Princeton University Press, 2018), she discusses some of the work game live streamers undertake to convert their private play into public entertainment. She details the layers involved in a typical broadcast and argues that this emerging form highlights the transformative nature of play.
